15 May 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In a Statement, you ask for clarification and it is written on the Statement that the Speaker signs. In my Statement, on that day, six months ago, bullet number two was for the Minister to present to this House the number of Muslim clerics that he has deported or denied entry in the last six months. That was the nature of the Statement, and I think I am in order.

10 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support not because the two principals have agreed on these three names, as the Leader of Government business has put it, but I am supporting these three names on the basis of my conviction and as a Member of Parliament for Dujis Constituency.

10 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want history to judge me. When the former Director of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, my good friend, PLO Lumumba’s name was brought here, I was among the three Members who opposed it. Mr. PLO Lumumba had passion. He has very good oratory skills and was very eloquent. When I stand here today, maybe, Mr. Matemu, Irene Keino and Jane Osongo might not have the oratory skills and the passion that PLO Lumumba had. It is this same House that passed the verdict that PLO Lumumba failed in his duties. So, that technically removes----

10 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, this country created very important fundamental institutions among them was the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and a reformed Judiciary. The only thing that is remaining is the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. Corruption has permeated in every sector of this nation. It has even gone to the Kenya National Examinations Council. That was why I brought a petition. Today, I cannot write to that Commission because there is no leadership. This nation and Parliament must give direction to the appointment and operationalization of that institution.

10 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to quote Mahatma Gandhi. He said: “I will not allow anyone to walk through my mind with their dirty feet”. That means that, as we prepare this nation for the budgetary process; as we set up new devolved systems of Government; as we have formed an independent DPP; as we have a reformed Judiciary, the most critical institution that is remaining is that of anti- corruption. Nobody has raised anything on the integrity and qualification of the three said names. Nobody is telling us: “These are the issues we are having against Matemu.” Nobody is ...

9 May 2012 in National Assembly:
I want to go on record that this country has changed; that this country has a new Constitution; that this country is not the old presidency. It is not the old presidency who used to come and give a speech to Parliament and Parliament discusses it. If you look at this Standing Order No.18, it talks about adoption of the Presidential Speech. As a Member of Parliament who comes from the north, there is no way I can adopt this Presidential Speech for the simple reason that the President, in addressing his legacy for the last eight or nine years, ...

9 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member heard me very categorically and I stand by that, I referred to the three counties of Garissa, Wajir and Mandera. I want to go on record that since Independence not a single kilometer has been done. The President of the Republic of Kenya stood here---
